Dog Walk in FortLangley - Shot on Insta360 Go2

Still figuring out my how to use my new Insta360 Go2 Mini Action Camera and the software for it but I am starting to get the hang of it. This quick video of our Dog Walk In Fort Langley was completely shot and edited using the Insta360 Go2 and accompanying software.

Future Adventurers Series Videos will be more interesting and hopefully have less dog but holes in them ;)

GEPRC TinyGO 4k FPV Drone First Time Flying with Goggles

I have been flying my little GEPRC TinyGO 4k FPV Drone mostly in side in my sea can since the weather has not been so nice and I really need to get the basics down before going outside and accidentally flying my drone off into who knows where...

I tried using the goggles at first but inside such tight quarters, I get really disoriented with the goggles on not really sure which way I am looking since things are so erratic, so I have been flying inside without the goggles and on.

After getting my confidence up just a bit and feeling like I now have a little bit of control (still not very good) I did finally go outside and strap on the goggles and take my GEPRC TinyGO 4k FPV Drone Drone for a flight in the yard. There were some crashes but I did spend most of my time in the air with a hint of some control so I can say that things are progressing! I hope to be an ACRO Pro in no time LOL!

Insta360 Go2 - GEPRC Tiny 4K Drone For Even More Interesting Content

Some of you may have noticed a lot more content in the form of shorts going on with my channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter). I have made a commitment to myself to try and upload at least one short video to the group of channels per day that cover stuff like Diet Tips, Exercise Tips, Workout Tips, TRT, Adventure, Fitness Tech and just cool stuff I experience.

I have been suing a bunch of cool video tech to capture these video and try an make it all entertaining for everyone such as my Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, My DJI Avata FPV Drone, my HoverAir X1 Selfie Camera Drone and of course just using my phone.

I wanted to share some new additions to video camera options to help me create content and help keep me inspired while doing so I added the Insta360 Go2 Tiny Action Camera and the GEPRC Tiny 4K FPV Drone to my collection. The Insta360 Go2 Tiny Action Camera is just super versatile and you can literally put it anywhere and create both shorts and standard videos all in one take so that was a no brainer and I got it for only a couple hundred dollars used on Marketplace. I also decided to buy a mini FPV drone so I could get into even smaller places and get even more creative with my shots. I also anted to learn how to fly a drone in ACRO mode which is really hard and I felt it would be better to learn on a small cheaper drone than my $2000 DJI Avata.

I love this this stuff and so for me this is super fun and I enjoy figuring it all out with the added advantage of being able to share cool videos with my audience.

Head Tracking with the DJI Avata FPV Drone - And Some Other Fun Stuff

I always have so much fun either flying around my First Person View DJI Avata Drone getting that feeling of actually flying, or getting a similar feeling riding my KingSong S22 EUC on trails and in traffic. I know it is a lot different watching versus doing but hopefully this video gives you a bit of an idea on how that feels. Special thanks to my HoverAir X1 Flying Camera Drone and the Ray-Ban Meta Camera Glasses for capturing what it looks like riding an EUC (Electric Unicycle) from different perspectives.

When flying my DJI Avata FPV Drone, I was using head tracking with the motion controller which allows me to control the flight path using the motion controller, while at the same time being able to look around in various directions while still flying which ever direction the motion controller was pointing towards. It does take a bit of practice as at fist it feels like you should be going where you are looking, but this is not the case. This setup allows for more of a "manual controller" look to the video as you can circle an object and center it much better in the camera view than using the motion controller on its own.

DJI Avata Stuck in a Tree

I have been enjoying getting my DJI Avata out for some quick fly time around the yard. This time I got a bit sloppy and flew my DJI Avata into a tree branch where it got hung up for a bit, but lucky for me it somehow stayed upright and managed to free itself so I could finish my quick fun flight around the yard.

I am supper impressed with how durable this little FPV Action Drone is. Once I get a little bit more practice time around the yard, I will be sure to get out and investigate some new territories and share my video adventure with everyone :)
